简要总结
Patients undergoing HD are mostly physically inactive and have reduced functional capacities compared to healthy individuals which contributes to a decreased quality of life and consequently increases the risk of mortality
详细描述
Physical activity has been shown to have various positive effects on HD patients . Some of the important benefits linked to exercise include an improvement in physical fitness , aerobic capacity , dialysis adequacy (measured as urea Kt/V) , quality of life , and reduced depressive symptoms .Walking can be considered as the most natural form of PA as it is easily performed by everyone except for the seriously disabled or very frail. Smartphones and their embedded computer technologies are increasingly being used to promote physical activity. Gamification presents itself as a promising approach to overcome a loss of interest, increase user engagement , raise the quality of health behaviors , and motivate users to use mHealth apps for a sustained period

gamified smartphone pedometer group
干预措施: gamified pedometer based walking intervention (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
change in patients weekly step count
时间窗: will be measured at baseline and after intervention [(after 12 weeks of walking program)]
Step count will be assessed using a pedometer.
change in fatigue level
时间窗: will be measured at baseline and after intervention [(after 12 weeks of walking program)]
Brief Fatigue Inventory questionnaire will evaluate the level of current fatigue and usual fatigue in the last 24 hours.A score of 0 means no fatigue and a score of 10 means the highest level of fatigue. The total score of fatigue was obtained through summing up the score of questions 2e10 (nine items) and dividing by nine
次要结局
- change in respiratory rate(will be measured at baseline and after intervention [(after 12 weeks of walking program)])
- change in sleep quality(will be measured at baseline and after intervention [(after 12 weeks of walking program)])
- change in heart rate(will be measured at baseline and after intervention [(after 12 weeks of walking program)])
- change in diastolic blood pressure(will be measured at baseline and after intervention [(after 12 weeks of walking program)])
- change in functional status(will be measured at baseline and after intervention [(after 12 weeks of walking program)])
- change in systolic blood pressure(will be measured at baseline and after intervention [(after 12 weeks of walking program)])
